Resumo: | The evolution of the nutritional status of children under 5 years of age living in two Indian settlements of the Parakanã tribe, Maroxewara and Paratininga, situated in the southest of Pará State (Brazil), with less than 20 years of direct contact with our society, was studied. The main purpose of this study was to register the effects of the preventive and curative health activities of the "Parakanã Program" (created by an agreement between the National Indian Foundation- FUNAI and Northern Hydroelectric Project- ELETRONORTE), undertaken with the technical cooperation of the Tropical Medicine Center (Federal University of Pará). Anthropometric data were obtained in there cross-sectional studies (April 89; January 90 and October 91) for the purpose of evaluating the prevalence of malnutrition by means of Gomez's, Waterlow's and WHO criteria. The evolution of nutritional status was evaluated in the light of the rate of growth and accepting weight increments superior to those expected among well-nourished children as a goal. Seventy children (87.5% of all the 0-5 years-olds living there) were followed through throughout the studies. Prevalence of malnutrition was greater in Paranatinga than in Maroxewara, possibly because the former was more populous and had had longer inter-racial contact. Paranatinga's anthropometric indices (wt/age, ht/age and wt/ht) were the lower. Most of the severe forms of malnutrition were found there too. Children between six months and 2 years old were the most affected. There had occurred an overall 76.1% decrease in the prevalence of malnutriotion. The primary health care given has been successful after eight months of activities, mainly in Paratininga. The increase of the wt/age index was proportional to the initial severity of the malnutrition various of the socio-cultural features observed might explain the differences in prevalences reported in this paper. |

Foi estudada a recente evolução do estado nutricional de menores de 5 anos nas aldeias Parakanã, Maroxewara e Paranatinga. Dados antropométricos (peso, altura) foram obtidos em três estudos transversais para avaliação da prevalência de desnutrição e acompanhamento da evolução nutricional pelo incremento médio do índice peso/idade de 70 crianças (87,5% dos menores existentes). A desnutrição nas aldeias foi proporcional ao tempo de contato com nossa cultura e atribuível a fatores socioculturais relatados. Na Paranatinga, os valores médios dos indicadores antropométricos - peso/idade, altura/idade e peso/altura - foram os menores, principalmente nas crianças entre o sexto e o 24º mês. Reduziu-se em 76, 1 % a prevalência de desnutrição global no grupo estudado, não havendo mais casos de desnutrição aguda na última avaliação. O incremento do indicador peso/idade foi proporcional à severidade do caso, não havendo diferença significante entre as aldeias. Medidas de natureza preventiva adotadas foram eficazes em reduzir a prevalência de desnutrição infantil entre os Parakanã. Universidade de São Paulo.
